However, after saying a few words, another noodle guest came over, and Guiqiu went to greet the guest with Zhou Dingxiang.

Gui Chongyang and Gui Chun sat down to eat noodles, not the noodle soup on other tables, but two bowls of sesame sauce over the water. The fragrant sesame sauce and the strong noodles moved when I smelled Gui Chongyang.

Gui Chun was able to eat, and the breakfast he ate in the morning was almost digested, and he was also hungry.

Gui Chongyang and Gui Chun ate two meals, knowing the amount of food he ate, looked at the top noodles in the bowl, and set aside half a bowl.

Gui Chun wanted to stop him, but Gui Chongyang said: "I have a shallow amount of food, so it's not good to waste it." ”

Only then did Gui Chun let go of the bowl, Gui Chongyang dialed it, and found that something was wrong, there was a poached egg at the bottom of this noodle.

Gui Chongyang couldn't help laughing, holding a poached egg and said to Gui Chun: "Sister Zhou is really a solid person, Brother Chun also looks, you should also have it in the bowl." ”

Gui Chun opened the noodles and looked at it, and sure enough, there was a white and tender poached egg underneath.

"How good is that?" Gui Chun was uncomfortable: "It's noodles again, and it's chicken's, it's too wasteful." ”

When Gui Chun was a child, he followed his elders to eat noodles at the market, and he always asked for three pennies for a bowl, plus an egg, and it was another penny. The two bowls of noodles in front of me cost eight cents.

Gui Chun touched the money bag on his chest: "It's all about having a book, we can't take advantage of this in vain, we should give the money later, fortunately, Xiao Er took the money, otherwise I would have to owe it." ”

This is of course a good virtue if you don't like to take advantage, but sometimes it's not taking advantage, it's a favor, and you have to owe it.

Gui Chongyang thought so, so he persuaded: "It's not that there is no Ming'er, what are you anxious about?" Sister Zhou is kind enough to treat her, and it's not good for us to give money directly. My aunt said that the wheat at home is going to be harvested, and the new noodles are delicious, so I will send some fresh ones to Sister Zhou next time. ”

Gui Chun is a persuasive person, and after listening to this truth, he began to eat noodles with peace of mind.

As more and more people rushed to the market, the noodle stalls were also full, and Gui Chongyang and Gui Chun also got up to give up their seats to others. Gui Chongyang watched Gui Qiu busy and pulled Gui Chun over to help.

Gui Chun's mouth is not smart, so he is responsible for it; Gui Chongyang's heart looked thin, and he gave Zhou Dingxiang a hand next to the stove, and there was no gossip with Zhou Dingxiang.

In just a moment, Gui Chongyang inquired about the Zhou family's affairs clearly.

Master Zhou is also Boss Zhou, his hometown is from Shanxi, he came to Tongzhou when he was young, and he also started as an apprentice and learned a craft. Master Zhou only got married at twenty-seven or eight, and his children came late, and they are forty-five this year. Now the Zhou family has a family of four, in addition to fifteen-year-old Zhou Dingxiang, there is also a seven-year-old boy, who is now sent to a private school in the west of the town to study.

The Jiang family's teahouse orders several kinds of pastries from Master Zhou all year round, so Jiang Wuye is familiar with Master Zhou. Last year, I heard that Master Zhou wanted to find an apprentice, Jiang Wuye immediately thought of his second nephew, so he introduced him, and now Guiqiu has been a year younger when he arrived at Zhou's house.

This noodle stall on the market day was proposed by Guiqiu, and Master Zhou also agreed. Guiqiu has not yet formally learned the stove, but Zhou Dingxiang grew up by the stove when she was a child, so she came out to be a "master".

The more Gui Chongyang listened, the more he felt that something was wrong, and asked, "There is only one apprentice in this restaurant?" No other guys? ”

Now is the time when you can call yourself "old" at the age of thirty, and after fifty is not a short life. Master Zhou himself is about to be fifty, and his son is young, so I don't know how to recruit a son-in-law to support the portal for a few years? How do you recruit apprentices?

The recruitment of sons-in-law here is different from that of sons-in-law, they are still married daughters, but they do not want a bride price, only make it clear before marrying a daughter, and the son-in-law will work in the Yue's house for a few years. Both parties agree on the number of years, and they are written on the marriage certificate. It's still two families, and they're living separately when they reach the age limit.

Master Zhou has a daughter under his knees, who refused the proposal of two families in the town, and had no intention of looking for a matchmaker, which is obviously to recruit a son-in-law for his daughter to stay in her mother's house for a few years.

"One less, huh? Second Brother Qiu may have eaten it, he can eat four bowls of rice in one meal, and he can't afford to raise another one. Zhou Dingxiang said with a smile.

Hearing this, Gui Qiu's days at the Zhou family were free, so that he could let go of eating like this.

Gui Chongyang felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, Master Zhou chose Gui Qiu as an apprentice, did it look at the face of Jiang Wuye, or because the Gui family was poor and Gui Qiu was the second son?

For those with slightly better family backgrounds, who would agree to let their son go to half-wealth?

The younger generation of the Gui family has three brothers, and Gui Chongyang is reluctant to let one out, and he was satisfied with Zhou Dingxiang before, but now he is picky.

Gui Chongyang paid attention to Gui Qiu again, and when he took noodles, there was no place to overstep the courtesy.

This was busy until almost noon, the noodle stall was withdrawn, and the restaurant behind it began to open.

Since Gui Chongyang and Gui Chun arrived, they always had to say hello to Master Zhou, so they followed Gui Qiu into the restaurant.

A short and fat cook came out, shaved a big shiny bald head, like a black Maitreya, and greeted Gui Chun and Gui Chongyang.

Hearing that Gui Chongyang was a cousin, Master Zhou looked at it several times, but he still paid attention to Gui Chun, pulled a few words of homely routine, and asked him if his grandparents were in good health and whether the wheat at home was going to be harvested.

Gui Chun naturally had something to answer, and Master Zhou joked with a smile: "I heard your fifth uncle say that you are two years older than Qiu'er, so you are eighteen this year, can you talk about family affairs at home?" ”

Gui Chun's face immediately turned red, and he was speechless.

Seeing this, Master Zhou smiled more and more lovingly, and touched his big bald head: "It seems that this is going to be ordered, don't forget to send you Uncle Zhou a post when the time comes, and then you will have to go over and ask for a cup of happy wine to eat." ”

Zhou Dingxiang lowered her head, still "grinning" and laughing.

Gui Qiu's reaction was a little wrong, as if he was very surprised that Gui Chun said about his relatives, revealing a trace of surprise and confusion.

Gui Chongyang's bystander Qing has already seen that this week, the master has regarded Gui Qiu as half of his son-in-law, and he has taken the initiative to find an opportunity to meet the elders of the Gui family, and he must also be probing the wind.

The elders and young are orderly, Gui Chun's family affairs are decided, and Gui Qiu's family affairs can also be discussed. The Gui family's family background is there, and it must be difficult to marry a daughter-in-law, and Master Zhou helps at this time, which also means "robbing while the fire is on".

Master Zhou was in a good mood and opened his mouth to leave the Gui brothers for lunch.

Gui Chun hurriedly said: "I'm going back, I'm still waiting at home." ”

Although it was not yet time for the wheat harvest, Master Zhou came from the countryside and knew that there was a lot of work in the countryside, so he did not leave a guest in vain, and went back to the kitchen to be busy.

Gui Qiu couldn't wait to pull his brother out, and couldn't avoid Gui Chongyang, the little tail that followed behind, and asked directly in a low voice: "How can the eldest brother say kiss, what about Cousin Mei?" ”

Gui Chun was so shocked that he couldn't keep his mouth shut: "What to do?" Little Er, what do you mean by that? ”

Gui Qiu frowned and said, "Of course it's your relationship with Cousin Mei, everyone grew up together, and it's not better than the matchmaker outside?" ”

"But, grandma said...... Cousin Mei promised you ...... You forgot? Gui Chun swallowed and foamed, not knowing whether to annoy his brother's irresponsibility or rejoice.

Gui Qiu rolled his eyes and said, "Can you forget this?" But that's not just a saying, and there's no aftermath. I know that Cousin Mei is unwilling, otherwise my aunt wouldn't have kept procrastinating ......"

Gui Chun stared straight at Gui Qiu, seeing that he was only annoyed, and had no other meaning, he finally let go of his heart, and said directly: "It's because I thought about it before, but I didn't expect it to be on my own...... I like Cousin Mei, but I don't know how to speak. Now that the Mei family has come to the door, they want to take Cousin Mei back to say goodbye, I don't want Cousin Mei to go......"

Gui Qiu punched Gui Chun hard: "Big brother is really grinding and chirping, if it weren't for the Mei family, would you continue to be a stuffy gourd?" Hmph, I'm here to see, it's good for the two of you to play small, I don't know when you look at the right eye, so you hide one from me? When he said this, his face was not really annoyed, but he was really happy for his eldest brother: "I don't know when to put the wine, and when the time comes, let the cloves go over and take charge of the spoon......"

Gui Chongyang looked at the two brothers from the side, not knowing whether to rejoice or worry.

Is this a joy for all?
